Western women are to blame for being raped by Muslim men.  Such is the latest position—the latest apologia—being offered by those Western elements dedicated to exonerating undesirable Muslim behavior, particularly in order to continue taking in more Muslim migrants.

They would rather take casualties than absorb the horror of the situation. The root of the problem is theological. The West is paralyzed by its...

Authorities in Cologne, Germany, could have responded to the attacks of an estimated 80 women at the hands of a gang of roughly 1,000 men in the city on New Year's Eve in a myriad of ways.
